SO GLAD you're covering Opulo! Stephen is a wonderful human and that project is incredible!

Thanks for sharing the project Tom! We're really excited about what the LumenPnP can do, and incredibly grateful to the wonderful community that has helped get it there.

Great to see this project getting recognized.

This guy is such an awesome communicator. Amazing skills.

This is probably the best presentation out of errf

I have ZERO interest in making a PNP machine, but Stephen's videos are SO good I watch every one of them!!!

[ecard]

OMG, That young man’s enthusiasm is so contagious 👍👍

[wfahnestock]

I spoke with Stephen at ERRF, he is an incredible person who is obviously very passionate about his project. It was great speaking with Stephen as his knowledge on this in incredible. Very well explained and an awesome project. I hope their company does very well. Maybe someday I will take him up on his offer to come visit their office! haha

This is super cool. And I really appreciate you making it open source. We need more engineers like you guys.

I am glad to be part of the Opulo community! There are so many fantastic minds working together, sharing their mods and suggestions for this machine. Stephen and his team take the “truly” open-source aspect very seriously. It is great to see this project being recognized.

I work on pick-and-place and flip-chip bonding machines in the semiconductor industry and it's super awesome to see this kind of tech making it's way to the enthusiast space. Awesome work guys, keep it up!

Opulo is an opensource company that I'm glad is being highlighted here. Thanks!

Opulo just so cool and it’s been fantastic seeing it come together. Stephen is so enthusiastic and I’m grateful for all the work he and his team is doing!

I normally and am not fond of these types of presentation videos. This video had me enthralled the entire time. This guy is a great presenter and really knows his material. On top of all that Pennsylvania represents! I actually commented out loud when he mentioned it ran on Marlin. Good job, guys!!

[mahmga]

Just absolutely awesome. I am surprised & yet not surprised this exists. The open source maker community is wicked. This is such a game changer. Now if I only had need to make one.

[connormccarter]

Been watch Stephen for a couple of years now back when he was frustrated hand building his glow-tie's and decided to build his own pick-n-place machine just to automate that.... Its so good to see him at this point with a product! Keep going Stephen!

I've been following this project for so long. It's amazing how it keeps evolving

[strong_voice_of_truth]

These guys are amazing! I'm coming up on 50 really soon, and things have changed so much in my lifetime and career. I've worked as an electronic tech / designer / pcb layout guy, and we would have loved to have (couldn't have imagined, really) the technologies that are being made available open-source. I'm considering opening my own consumer electronics company, and this tech will probably make it possible to do so, as I fall right into that mid-volume area. Now we only need an environmentally safe way to make prototype or production boards in-house. I am hoping that additive technology might be created in the near future to do just that.

Nice to see the Opulo on this channel. I'd like to make my own PCB at least once in my life, but as a mechanical engineer the odds of me ever having any sort of use for a pick and place is very slim, but I love watching his videos and following their progress.

[JohnOCFII]

That system is SO impressive! It was definitely one of the top 3 things I saw at ERRF. Thanks for taking the time to get some a thorough review up for us to see!
